I find it interesting how much attitudes to roosters vary by location. Where I live, the lots are long and skinny (been like that since the Spanish colonized the area). So my neighbors' houses are really quite close to mine—as close as in many city areas where roosters are outlawed. But my area is traditionally agricultural and almost everyone in the neighborhood has poultry and/or livestock of some kind. So no one would even dream of complaining about rooster crowing (or shrieking peacocks, or honking geese, or braying donkeys).

You got that right! It's noisy out in the country! This house is in the city limits, but on 1/2 acre -- built in 1928. Well and garden area and an "historic" bunkhouse. Room for some chickens, Yeah!

How sad! I personally find roosters much less annoying than badly managed dogs.

I unfortunately have one of those too. LOL She doesn't bite but is all sorts of obnoxious with the barking. It doesn't help that when she was young the neighborhood kids would tease her from the road.

Oh don’t get me wrong! I have owned my fair share of barking doggos. But I did my best to keep them in line as much as possible. And really I just find it interesting that barking is more “socially acceptable” than crowing, even if dogs are louder and more frequent noise makers.

And by badly managed I mean the people that let dogs run loose to raise a ruckus, or who leave them out to bark all night long.

We have been looking for the right roost for a couple of years. This place checks all the boxes!

You an' me both. Most roosters don't bite.

Mine bit me yesterday But it was my fault for doing something stupid and scaring him. And he didn’t even break the skin.

I was practically drooling at “built in 1928” I love historic properties.

That is a "peck" -- a bite sends you to the ER and you have to get a shot for rabies. (Dog bite, ask me how I know).
